IMPROVEMENT IN BARREL-PUMPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 129,141, dated J uly16, 1872.

Specification of a new and useful Pump for Drawing Liquors from Barrels,invented by me, JAMES W. KELLY, of Hartford City, Mason county, WVestVirginia.

Nature and Objects of the Invention.

My invention relates to a cheap and simple form of pump, wherebykerosene and other oils and liquids may be drawn direct from the cask orbarrel without the use or necessity of the large can or tank customarilyemployed by retailers of such liquids.

General Description with Reference to the Drawing.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a pump and drip-pan embodyingmy-invention. Fig. 2 represents the pump in elevation and drippan invertical section, both in position within a barrel, shown also insection.

A represents the barrel of any suitable pump B, the customaryenlargement at the upper portion of the same. The said barrel occupies asleeve, O,whose flange or collar D is nailed or screwed fast to the headof the barrel, in which head is made an orifice, E, which is cocopied bythe said sleeve with its contained pump-barrel, as clearly shown in Fig.2. A slot, F, extending downward from the top of the sleeve, and havinga series of notches, G, receives a pin, H, that projects from the barrelA. Said pin H, being caused to enter one or other of the said notches,is thereby held fast, so as to maintain the pump, with itsreceiving-end, at the proper elevation above the lower head of thebarrel, as shown in Fig. 2. In order to insure the retention of the pinH in the notch, I introduce a spiral spring, I, which, pressing againstthe top of the sleeve 0 and the bottom of the enlargement B, co-

operates with the said pin and notch to hold the pump securely to thedesired position. A drip-pan, sink, or funnel, J, is provided to holdthe can or other vessel to be filled, and to conduct back into thebarrel whatever liquid may be spilled or dripped outside of said vessel.This drip-pan, in its preferred form, comprises a marginal rim, K;supporting-flange L, a conical bottom, M, and a spout, N, which spoutoccupies an orifice, O, in the head of the barrel. This spout may beclosed by a plug or cork when not in use. A cove, P, entering one sideof the drip-pan, provides room for the sleeve C. The supporting-flange Lis continued around the sides of this cove, as shown. In order tofacilitate the descent of the liquid the pan may have radial grooves orchannels My invention may be modified in non-essential particulars-forexample, feet may take the place of the supporting-flange L of thedrip-pan.

Claims.

I claim as new and of my invention- 1. The combination, with a portablepump, of the flanged sleeve 0 D, having the notched slot F G to receivea projection from the pumpbarrel, and the spiral spring I, or theirequivalents, for the purpose set forth.

2. The drip-pan or funnel J, constructed with rim K, support L, conicalbottom M, spout N, and recess P, substantially as described.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.
